Two Stephens County BOC Races Facing Run-offs in June

There will be two run-offs on June 21 for two County Commission seats.

For the Post 1 seat, of the six Republican candidates, no one received the required 50% plus 1 of the votes to win.

The front runner is Dennis Black who received 36.58% of the vote, followed by Tara Simmons who received 22.07% of the vote.

The winner of that race will face Democratic challenger Kathy Pauley in November.

In the Post 4 County Commission race, again, none of the four candidates received enough votes.

Of the four, James Addison received 48.71% followed by Chris Rickman who received 28,16% of the vote.

Whoever wins that race in June will run unopposed in November.

The run-offs take place June 21.
